Fan Expo Dallas brought tens of thousands of fans to Dallas in early April, and Mineralblu, a cosplay photographer, was on hand to capture the many costumed attendees. He put his footage together in a cosplay music video with helpful labels noting which costume is being worn or what franchise it’s from. You’ll see everyone from an epic Doctor Strange, a big plush porg, a dog as Flash, a small Pennywise, and more. It’s a lot of creativity and resourcefulness packed into ten minutes.
Mineralblu does something unique with his cosplay music videos by putting together albums of still photos of individual cosplayers in the video and linking to more of their work. You can view pictures of over 50 costumes in this album.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
